Spur gear module 6 z=24 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=24, with hub

The spur gear module 6 shown, 24 teeth, with hub, is a basic component of module drives - it meshes with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. Made of C45E steel (UNI/EN 10083-1), which ensures high mechanical strength and wear resistance during prolonged operation under load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you cut a keyway in a module gear with a small hub?

In gears with a small hub, the keyway is slotted with great care so as not to weaken the wall above the tooth. If there is not enough space, we recommend dispensing with a standard key (feather key) in favour of mounting with clamping bushes (locking assemblies).

How can you check whether two module gears will mesh with each other?

There is one absolute condition: both gears must have exactly the same module (e.g. m=2) and the same pressure angle (standard 20°). If the modules differ by even a fraction of a millimetre, the teeth will start to shear and the gearbox will be destroyed.

What lubrication is optimal for open module (rack) gear drives?

For open systems (gear + gear rack), it is best to use thick greases with added graphite or copper, which adhere firmly to the teeth and are not flung off by centrifugal force. In very dusty applications, dry Teflon lubricants perform better.

In which applications do helical module gears perform well?

Helical teeth ensure smoother engagement, which drastically reduces noise and vibration at high rotational speeds. They are used in precision speed reducers and machine tools, bearing in mind, however, the need to use thrust bearings (absorbing axial forces).

Where is this product used?

It performs well in power transmission systems in machine tools, production lines and sliding gates, where it works together with a gear rack of the same module.

When placing your order, please check the current stock level of this gear - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in the given warehouse.
